Moonspear few experiences, what you really are

When Ciri did not offer anything beyond her first name, Sialuk squinted at her for a moment, wondering why she had not done so. Did she have no surname? No parents here? Norah introduced herself next, also lacking any context as to who she might be and how she might have gotten here. It appeared to Sialuk that she alone was the only wolf present who knew how to do introductions properly. She kept her opinion to herself, of course. It would have been impolite to scold others, even if they were wrong.

When Norah questioned their being up this high on the mountain, Sialuk replied in a calm, cool fashion. I was born on this mountain, she said, I have been climbing its slopes for as long as I have been weaned from my mother. She was quite used to the inclines, and not once had she felt like they were a hindrance to her range.
